Writing from the nation
Ivanka and Jared have moved from the White House to live in Miami. Eric is now managing the family business. Tiffany has recently gotten married. Barron is currently studying as a strategist at NYU.
Out of all of Trump’s children, Donald Jr. has been the one who has stayed by his father’s side the most. He is the oldest son of the president-elect.
At 46 years old, Donald Trump has gained influence in politics and amassed wealth by promoting the Make America Great Again movement that his father initiated. He owns several conservative-oriented businesses, including a publishing company and a lucrative podcasting agreement. Forbes calculated Trump’s net worth to be approximately $50 million, mainly accumulated following his father’s political career after January 6, 2021.
His colleagues believe this is why he has no intention of becoming a part of the administration. However, he is aware of the challenges faced by his siblings and other officials in the first term who tried to control access to his father, which proved to be politically risky.
In the past few weeks, as the incoming president puts together his team, his son has been acting as a loyalty tester. While evaluating potential candidates at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the president-elect is interested in their appearance and ability to communicate effectively, according to sources. On the other hand, his son is more concerned with the sincerity of their words and whether they pose a risk to the ideals of the MAGA movement.
